I've been trying to use replace to replace config lines in a config file that I have good reasons not to template.
Specifically, it's php associative array. Thus, I need to be able to match lines that contain quotes. So far, I can't get it to work. I eventually pulled the essentials out of my role and into a single playbook that I've posted on pastebin http://pastebin.com/Y6X5dZqz So, if a file contains $CONFIG = array ( > 'dbhost' => 'laskdjflkjsdlfkj', > ); > How do I replace 'dbhost' => 'whatever the setting happens to be.', with whatever I want? Also, the single quotes can sometimes be double quotes. I generally get an error that looks something like: fatal: [192.168.88.2] => failed to parse: > SUDO-SUCCESS-wlskunaawgbgwiokatisjtavicfvfbux > Traceback (most recent call last): > File > "/home/vagrant/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1399578173.9-133172102011107/replace", > > line 1330, in <module> > main() > File > "/home/vagrant/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1399578173.9-133172102011107/replace", > > line 123, in main > supports_check_mode=True > File > "/home/vagrant/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1399578173.9-133172102011107/replace", > > line 350, in __init__ > (self.params, self.args) = self._load_params() > File > "/home/vagrant/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1399578173.9-133172102011107/replace", > > line 901, in _load_params > items = shlex.split(args) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/shlex.py", line 279, in split > return list(lex) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/shlex.py", line 269, in next > token = self.get_token() > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/shlex.py", line 96, in get_token > raw = self.read_token() > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/shlex.py", line 172, in read_token > raise ValueError, "No closing quotation" > ValueError: No closing quotation > My local machine is running Ubuntu 14.04, and Ansible devel branch from a couple days ago.
